Don't try to open a new VT by default when running on a console-based target. This used to cause problems when running XGGI without any root privileges.
Italian, Polish and Norwegian keymaps added.
Save and restore all screens in a multihead configuration upon VT switching.

I called up with an SMTP problem (disconnecting from thier mail server immediatly after connection - POP3 was fine, though).
I said 'Hi, I'm having a problem connecting to your mail server on port 25. I get disconnected after connection with error '421 Connection Refused from mail....home.com'. If I simply try to telnet there, regardless of my mail client, I get it.'
They forced me to set up Outlook before they'd help me.
The major problem with the Child Porn meme (I supposed you'd call it a memetic disorder) is that people are so terrified of saying anything against the negativity surrounding it because of fear of being branded a pedophile.
Is a mother taking nude pictures of her daughter (non-pornographic, but nude) child porn? Common sense says no, but I know of at least one case where a mother was approached by social services after being reported by the photo developing house (I hit google, but can't find a link for it -- anyone?).
Here's a better question - say a pair young kids (as in, 12-13 year old) decide to grab thier daddy's camera and document themselves having sex (and if you don't think that 12 and 13 year olds are sexually active, then I really don't know what to tell you). Is this porn? Not anymore than me taking a nude picture of my girlfriend is. Is it non-consentual? Hell no. Would anyone who was in possestion of those pictures get lynched? You betcha.
The internet crimes enforcement treaty discussed on slashdot a few days ago even made it a requirement of the treaty that it be illegal in signing countrys to allow production and consumption of pornographic images that even just *appear* to be child porn. I'm sure that there are several eurpoean porn actresses that, due to a genetic tendency, appear to be 15 or 16, when in reality they are in thier 20s (I'm not posting links, as last time I did, people freaked). Even worse, this could cover drawings and animations. In these cases, any child-porn based argument against it falls apart -- children aren't being victimised in it's production (whether women are victimised by simply participating in pornography is a debate best held elsewhere).
Question - is drawing a picture that would be considered child porn an offence? Should it be?
Is writing a story? In that case the ASSTR is going to have a problem.
(In these situations, there are going to be people who still belive that these forms of child porn are harmful - in which case the main justification they can give is that "reading it may make one more likely to participate in Real child porn, or molest real children" or whatever, which of course is an isometric argument to "smoking pot paves the way for harder drugs", and just as bunk).
This whole subject bothers me because of the fucking literal insanity that comes over people when the subject is mentioned. It's like, otherwise rational, freedom loving people are willing to say "yeah, I belive in freedom of expression, execpt for stuff like Child Porn" just out of social fear. I don't know how many times I've seen that used as an excuse or justification for accepting arbitrary restrictions on freedom or increased police powers. It's disgusting and insulting.
and if Andre Hedrick (the Linux IDE guy), a.k.a. the Donald Becker of IDE chipsets, can't get it to work, I doubt ABit could just "support" the HPT370. Incidentally, the HPT368 also does "RAID", in the same sense.
I was simply going on heresay from mailing lists that turned up on google when I thought that Gentus supported the 370 - I had no real proof one way or the other.
I'm pretty sure that it's a pseudo-hardware RAID solution - the bios on the controller looks to take care of the creation and management of the arrays, but that you need software (in the form of drivers) to communicate with it, and that software has to know something about RAID apparently.
Blah. Disappointing, to say the least. If I didn't need to run 3 operating systems, I'd have gone for a software RAID soloution anyway.
(Note that regarding the 'experimental' nature of the ABIT boards, I picked up the KT7-RAID because a) I needed a good Socket A mobo, and the KT7 looked like the best out there (roughly equivilant to ASUS offerings, in other words), and b) I decided that on the off chance I get an ATA100 drive, the $20 more for the ATA100/RAID controller would be worth it - and since I did end up getting two ATA100 drives, well, it was)
internet explorer password protect clear history disable
and 10 minutes later has removed the password. it's a variation on the futility of SDMI - give the kid access to the device without being there, and you can't stop him from doing what he wants with it.
That's not what he's saying, and it's not about compression.
Say I have the string 'DeCSS'. I then need to look for the positions of the ascii values of those characters in pi.
D = 68, e = 101, C = 67, S = 83, S = 83.
So, you would find the position of the first occurence of '68' in pi. the first value of the encoded string would then become the position of '68'. etc, etc. --
Either that, or do you think it has something to do with supply and demand?
In WWII, people were being drafted left, right & center - anyone who was able was asked to fight.
Nowadays, the armed forces is a career choice - only people who want to join are joining - so you get more people who join up becuase they, for lack of a better way of putting it, enjoy combat.

You are playing the "best of". That 10% of games that are remembered. They're good because they were good game designs. There are still good, solid game designs in modern - they're just different (and anyone who bitchs about the glut of FPS's nowadays, go back to the SNES era and look at all the side-scrolling shooters (Gradius, R-Type, etc) there were).

Umm, wrong level.
OpenGL -> GGI -> SVGALib
OpenGL -> GGI -> X
OpenGL -> GGI -> Network
OpenGL -> GGI -> DRI (Windows)
OpenGL -> GGI -> Console
etc, etc...
--
But you can run it under X if you need/want to, which is a huge advantage especially for development...
--
Why would I code directly to SVGAlib instead of using GGI?
I would assume that there's an SVGAlib target for GGI, so what's the point?

This was issued in Jan. 1999. I think I'd be looking for winners around this time, not more entrants.

There was a Quake Arcade machine, if you care.

If you want to see a movie that's echoes this movie to the point of ripping it off (badly) checkout the schlockfest that is Event Horizon.
*Very* similar in theme, if only it wasn't so stupid and confusing.

They would auction them off instead of making them available for vanilla registration.

You mean like x.org ?

Yeah, but for some Hardware RAID you need drivers. The Highpoint 370 IDE controller on the Abit KT7-RAID specifically.
http://www.linux-ide.org/ has the drivers for the Highpoint controller, and many other supplimentary IDE drivers.

I swear someone mentioned something about it, though....
